I came across the book when I was making a research about Kaizen, Lean, 6 Sigma and their implementation in the Finance department. This book covers not only how to make your finance organization lean and fast but also explains and provides you with the tools and templates to implement them. I had never seen such a book giving this much emphasis to implementation. Reading the book is like walking through your daily life at your office. I believe that the reason lying behind this is that Mr. Parmenter himself is a finance professional and has received input from many other finance professionals throughout his career. The writer is helping us, the finance professionals, with his book and additional resources. The details are in the book and Mr. Parmenter’s website.
